US EditionCoast Guard Launches Salvage Operation in Miami Boat Crash That Killed Two Kids, Jewish Girl in Critical Condition
MIAMI, JUL 29 – Two children died and two remain in critical condition after a barge struck a sailboat during a Miami Yacht Club sailing camp, authorities said.
- On Monday morning near Hibiscus Island in Biscayne Bay, a barge struck a sailboat during a Miami sailing camp, resulting in the deaths of two girls and leaving two others critically injured.
- The accident involved six people—five children and one counselor—and the barge apparently struck their sailboat, causing it to capsize and throw all overboard.
- Emergency responders transferred four children to Jackson Memorial Hospital, including 7-year-old Mila Yankelevich and a 13-year-old girl who both later died, while two others aged 8 and 11 remained in critical condition.
- Maritime attorney Brandon Volk noted the complexity of the case, emphasizing that powered vessels must yield to sailboats and called attention to the camp's counselor-to-student ratio as a logistical concern.
- The U.S. Coast Guard leads an active investigation and salvage operation, while the Miami Yacht Club closed its facilities until further notice out of respect and to assist response efforts.
